Dipstick covered in white, milky substance?
I'm looking to replace the PCV because I have oild build up around the dipstick housing and puffs of white smoke from the dipstick while running a hot engine.
Now I have a milky white substance on the dipstick along with condensation. Is this a result of the bad PCV as well? Looks bad but you guys tell me. |
just means you been taking her on short trips not letting her warm up fully and the moisture is not evaporating...just take her on a nice spirited run on the highway for a while...
|
But this was right after city and highway driving for about 40 minutes
|
Could be cause of the pcv. I would change it asap, before yu blow a rear main....

Good news is I am using my parents car and the Volvo sits in the garage until I get the PCV. No one drives it :) I also found my engine serial number in order to get the right PCV system.
If anyone wants to know for future reference, there should be a white sticker on the side of the timing belt cover. It should read Se#; (number) It should be a 6-digit number between 300000 and 400000 for the '95 model |

I've heard that to see the number on the engine you need;
1. A system of mirrors 2. Magnifying glass 3. 20/20 vision 4. Patience I'm glad I had the sticker. Made life easier |
You can see if easy when you have time try it.

Will do next time I am home. I think next weekend.
